Woman slain in murder-suicide sought protection order from shooter only five days earlier

PORT ANGELES — A 35-year-old mother of two who was killed by her ex-boyfriend in a murder-suicide wrote only last week that she was afraid of a confrontation with him.

Christin Stock’s application for a protective order against Jeffrey Calvert — the 41-year-old Bellingham financial officer who burst into her home and killed her and himself late Sunday afternoon — listed Calvert’s Internet photo album he called “Us — A Love Story.”

In that online album are 375 photos and short videos that show a onetime happy couple who enjoyed the outdoors and visited many Northwest and Canadian locations, at times with Stock’s two young daughters from her former marriage.

Stock handwrote the petition for an order for protection from harassment in Clallam County District Court on Feb. 19 and filed it the next day.

Four days later, Calvert kicked in the back door of Stock’s Oak Street house while carrying two guns, handcuffs, a knife, pepper spray, duct tape, a stun gun and ammunition.

As police hurried to the home in response to two 9-1-1 calls, Calvert fatally shot Stock and then shot himself dead.

In her request for a protective order, Stock detailed her ex-boyfriend’s behavior as he tried to re-establish their relationship after she moved out of their Bellingham house in October.

She wrote about his excessive gifts, letters and packages — which she ignored.

“I am afraid that as he continues not to get a response from me that he will show up to confront me in person,” she wrote five days before she was killed.

“The day I left [in Bellingham], he physically restrained me three times, and stood over me trying to intimidate me as I packed my belongings.

“Jeff needs to understand that I want him to leave me alone.”

Port Angeles police said Monday that Calvert had a 1995 stalking conviction involving a different woman in King County that was vacated earlier this month.

Calvert had worked for seven years as a finance manager for the Bellingham Community Food Co-op, according to human resources manager Deborah Craig.

Craig said Calvert was a full-time employee at the time of his death.
